Marie Chabbert joined the History Philosophy research group at Utrecht University as an Assistant Professor in Modern European Philosophy. Her research interrogates French philosophers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, particularly thinkers associated with post-structuralism, deconstruction, and phenomenology. She aims to contribute to questions of peaceful religious coexistence against the backdrop of the global rise of anti-religious hatred and violence committed in the name of God. Her monograph, preliminarily titled 'Comes Tolerance? French Theory and Religious Diversity', is forthcoming. Her work aligns with Utrecht University’s commitment to emphasizing the relevance of academic research to broader social issues. Chabbert has long been active in the field of interfaith dialogue, participating in and presiding over peace-building initiatives that address the global rise of extreme beliefs and religious hate crimes. In 2021, she was named a Young Interfaith Leader by the United Nations Office of Counter Terrorism and the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations, serving as an Interfaith Ambassador. As part of her wider commitment to public engagement in the humanities, she aims to raise awareness of urgent social themes through her philosophical work, and she is a regular contributor to the French newspaper Le Monde and the intellectual magazine Esprit.
